Hola!
What an amazing week in the MTC! The training was awesome and the spirit so strong! We were blessed with fabulous teachers, both young returned missionaries. They were polar opposites in their gender, teaching style, and personality, but both taught with the spirit and love, and were true blessings to our district. We had many meetings with our whole group of 130 senior missionaries, with my favorite being watching the Christmas MTC fireside with Elder Bednar. He told of many experiences and testified that while on the Lord's errand we have the protection and blessings of the Lord. We will be qualified! That is a comforting promise for us as we have been studying the language and praying to be able to effectively communicate. Our devotional speaker was Marlin K. Jensen, emeritus 70. It included all of the missionaries, senior and young, and what a spirit! As we looked around we knew we were amongst 2000 plus stripling warriors! The energy and spirit of the young missionaries is contagious! They smile, hold doors open, sing with gusto, and truly radiant their love of the Savior! We were thrilled to hug Sister Stoker! We got to see her twice. What a wonderful young woman and missionary! What a tender mercy to connect with her. She will be fabulous! We're sitting in the SLC airport ready to board to LA, and then on to Managua. The Church is true! The Savior lives and loves us. Now it is our turn to show our love for Him and serve our brothers and sisters in Nicaragua. We love you all! Adios!
